Want “barefoot” or “Pose” style running shoes? Want shoes good for all around CrossFit? While there is a great reason as an athlete and CrossFitter to own weightlifting shoes, having a pair of shoes that work for all around WOD’s is also vital. Flatter shoes help with lifting, running, jumping, and bodyweight movements in CrossFit. Running shoes with “Shox” or “Cells” or “Air” simply suck. As in they suck the stability out of your weightlifting movements and rob you of powerful explosion with a barbell and a sturdy platform to land on or drive through. They also lead to heel striking when you run with your heel landing first, sending shockwaves through your foot, knee and hips. That can mean the difference in a PR. Chuck Taylor’s from Converse are a personal favorite. Nike Free’s are popular too. There are quite a few choices, but generally look for a good minimal athletic shoe or trainer.

Coaching Tip: Ring Dips and Ring Depth with Sangeeta
- The proper depth for a ring dip is to have the shoulder below the elbow
- Lower your body and let your chest dip forward of the rings, while your elbows travel “back” and not “out”
- Keep the rings close to the body and feel the rings touch your chest or armpit area
- Drive back out to a full lockout position
- Scale with a band if you already have a strong box or parallette dip
